Drontal Worming Tablets for Cats (2 pack)

Broad-Spectrum Worm Control

Drontal treats the three most common intestinal worms affecting cats — roundworm, hookworm and tapeworm — in one convenient tablet. Comprehensive worm treatment helps protect your cat's digestive health while reducing the risk of parasite transmission within the home.

Effective Tapeworm Treatment

Unlike many flea and worm combination products, Drontal includes tapeworm treatment. This is particularly important for cats that hunt rodents or have experienced flea infestations, as fleas commonly transmit tapeworm.

No Fasting Required

Drontal can be given with or without food, eliminating the need to withhold meals before treatment. Tablets can be administered directly or hidden in a small amount of food for cats that are difficult to medicate.

Suitable For Adult Cats & Kittens

Approved for kittens from 6 weeks of age, Drontal provides reliable worm treatment throughout every stage of your cat's life. Routine worming helps support long-term health for both indoor and outdoor cats.

Ideal Alongside Flea Treatments

Many flea products do not treat tapeworm. Drontal complements these products by providing targeted intestinal worm treatment, allowing owners to build a complete parasite control programme based on their cat's individual needs.

Trusted Veterinary Brand

Drontal has been used by veterinarians worldwide for many years and remains one of the most widely recommended cat allwormers. Its proven active ingredients provide reliable treatment against common intestinal worms when used according to the label directions.

Easy To Administer

The scored tablets are simple to dose according to your cat's weight and can be given whole or concealed in food. This flexibility makes routine worming easier for both experienced and first-time cat owners.

Available Without A Prescription

Drontal for Cats is available over the counter in New Zealand, allowing you to maintain your cat's regular worming schedule without requiring a veterinary prescription.

Q: What worms does Drontal for Cats treat?

A: Drontal is a broad-spectrum allwormer that treats roundworm, hookworm and tapeworm in cats. These intestinal parasites are among the most common worms affecting cats in New Zealand and can cause digestive upset, weight loss and poor overall health if left untreated.

Q: How often should I worm my cat?

A: Most adult cats should be wormed every three months as part of their routine preventative healthcare. Cats that hunt, catch rodents or spend significant time outdoors may require more frequent worming depending on their individual risk. Your veterinarian can recommend the most appropriate schedule for your cat.

Q: Is Drontal safe for kittens?

A: Yes. Drontal for Cats can be used in kittens from 6 weeks of age when administered according to the recommended dosage. Regular worming during the first few months of life is important because kittens are particularly susceptible to intestinal worm infections.

Q: How do I give Drontal to my cat?

A: Drontal tablets can be given directly by mouth or concealed in a small amount of food. No fasting is required before treatment, making administration straightforward for most cats.

Q: Does Drontal treat tapeworm?

A: Yes. Drontal contains praziquantel, which is highly effective against common feline tapeworm species. Tapeworm infection is often associated with fleas or hunting behaviour, making regular worming particularly important for cats at higher risk.

Q: Can Drontal be used with flea treatments?

A: Yes. Drontal is commonly used alongside flea treatments that do not include tapeworm coverage. Combining products can provide more complete parasite protection, but always follow the label directions and consult your veterinarian if you are unsure which products are suitable to use together.

Q: Do indoor cats still need worming?

A: Yes. Although indoor cats generally have a lower risk of parasite exposure, they can still become infected through fleas, raw food, insects or accidental exposure to contaminated environments. Routine worming remains an important part of preventative healthcare for most cats.

Q: Do I need a prescription to buy Drontal for Cats?

A: No. Drontal for Cats is available over the counter in New Zealand and does not require a veterinary prescription.

Q: What should I do if my cat spits the tablet out?

A: If your cat does not swallow the full tablet, a replacement dose may be required to ensure effective treatment. Many owners find it easier to hide the tablet in a small amount of food or a pill pocket. If you continue to have difficulty administering tablets, speak with your veterinarian about alternative worming options.

Q: Does Drontal kill fleas?

A: No. Drontal only treats intestinal worms and does not provide flea control. If your cat also requires flea protection, consider using an appropriate flea treatment alongside your regular worming programme.
